" Application February 25,1932; Serial No.595,158

3 Claims. (Cl. 91-14) s chine in which a roll of wall paper may be held,

paste applied to the paper as it passes through the machine or preferably over a pasting board and under a pasting rollto which paste is supplied by valved means, and which paper then passes over '10 a roll in offset relation to the machine.

The more specific objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the description following, taken in connection with ac- 4 companying drawings illustrating an operative embodiment.

In said drawings: Figure 1 is an end elevation of the machine, Figure 2 is a plan view, I Figure 3 is a detail section taken 3-3 of Figure 1,

Figure 4 is a cross section taken on the line 44 of Figure 2,

Figure 5 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 2,

on the line 2.25 Figure 6 is an enlarged section taken on the line 66 of Figure 1,

Figure 7 is an enlarged cross sectional view through the paste trough, and

Figure 8 is an elevation of the cutting knife.

Referring specifically to the drawings wherein like reference characters designate like or similar parts, 10 designates ,a suitable supporting frame particularly having end members 11 rigidly connected together as by means of a longitudinally extending trough 12, a bar 13 and paste board 14. A roll of wall paper is shown at 15 supported on a removable rod 16 applicable to slots or openings 17 and 18 according to the height or adjustment desired for the roll.

The free end of the paper passes between a pair of rolls 19 and 20, arranged above them, the former having trunnions at 21 whereby it is journaled in the end members 11. Metallic brackets 22 are secured to the end members 11 which suspend bearings 23 in which trunnions 24 of the rollers are journaled. Rollers 20 is vertically adjustable since the trunnions 24 extend through'slots 25 in the members 11 and since the bearings 23 are vertically adjustable, having screw rod portions 26 passing through the brackets 22, nuts 27 below the brackets and wing nuts 28 above the brackets.

An annular cutter 29 is provided on the roller groove30 in the roller 20. As a result, as the 19 and is adapted to extend into an annular paper 15 passes between the rolls 19 and 20, one edge thereof is trimmed .or out 011 through engagement with theknife 29. l i 7 From the rollers 19 and 20 the paper passes, over-the pasting board 14 and under a pasting roller 31 suitably journaled in the end members 11. The roller 31 is arranged directly under the discharge opening 32 extending longitudinally of the paste trough 12. Said opening is covered by a metallic plate 33 having outlet openings 34 therethrough with which coacts a metallic plate 35 having openings 36 therethrough. Plate 35 is held in position by cleats 3'7 and is slidable longitudinally with respect to the plate 33 so as to Vary the discharge by opening; or throttling the openings 34 and 36 as desired. g 1 In order to slide the plate 35, a bracket 38 is formed integral therewith having a nut/39 rigid therewith and engaged with a manually operable screw rod 40. Screw rod 40 is journaled in a bracket 41 secured adjacent the paste trough and the screw rod is held against longitudinal mov'e-' ment relative to the bracket 41.by nuts or stops 43 thereon.

- A roller 44 is journale d on arms '45, in offset (89' relation'to the remainder of the machine, such arms being suitably secured to the bars 13 and 13" as by means of bolts 46.- a

In the use of the device, the same may bear ranged on the floor, table or otherwise;

operatorpulls. the paper overthe roller 44,"the pasted side being uppermost and such paper preferably being pulled with one hand while theopposite arm is arranged below the paper. The paper is applied to the wall adjacent the floor and then upwardly to the desired'height, and finally being cut off by the operation of a hand tool or the equivalent, such as is illustrated in Figure -8. Such device comprises a shank 50 having a handle 51 and a diagonally disposed blade 52 with a cutting edge at 53.. f

Obviously the-rollers may be made of any desired material such as aluminum, hard rubber or the like. p

The paste trough 12 has a cover 54 longitudinally slidable in grooves 55. V

Various changes may be resorted to provided they fall within the spirit and scope of the invention. v

What is claimed is: v y, 1. A wall papering machine having means to support a roll of papencoacting rollers above said means, one of said rollers havinga trimming knife and the other roller having a groovev aoas commodating operation of thek'nife, a pasting zoo mentioned roller, a bracket on the machine,,a

screw journaled in the bracket, a nut on the valve plate engaged by the'screw, anend ber on the machine, 'said trough terminating short of said end member to' provide a portion to which said bracket is attached, and said valve plate having a bracket carrying said nut, the last mentioned bracket being slidableon the, top of said end member.

2. In a wall papering machine, meansito mount ing an angular end provided with a threaded *opening 'to'engag'e said threaded and move a strip of wallpaper, aboard to sup port a portion of said paper during its move ment, a paste trough arranged over said board and provided with valved means to supply the paper supported on the board with paste, said board preventing sagging ofv the paper by the weight of the paste, and a rotary brush arranged above the board to spread *the paste on the paper. a

,3, In a paste 'applying, means for wall paperliig fiachihes, a 'paste. trough having fa plurality of discharge openings for dispensing the pastefther'efrom, a slide valve arranged above the discharge openings and" having openings therein toaline therewith, a bracket secured to' "one-end of the trough, a screw rod rotatably,

carried by said bracket, and the slide valve havrod.
